Does anyone have a Ragamuffin kitty? I just discovered them online today and fell in love with the breed!

Extremely loveable and docile, RagaMuffin cats were developed in the latter part of the 20th century by Mrs. Baker of Riverside. The exact origin of the breed is unknown as the developer chose what cats to breed. It is believed that the breed was developed from street cats found in Riverside.
The RagaMuffin cat is famous for its mellow personality and tends to be very friendly to people. The breed is never aloof and does everything to earn a cuddle. Many RagaMuffins follow their owners as they are very people-oriented and thrive on much attention. Keep in mind that they are indoors cats.
Ragamuffin Cats - Description
The breed has a slightly larger skeleton, which allows it to carry large weight. These cats are large and heavy reaching about 10-15 lbs. Males are usually larger than females and can be as large as 20 lbs. In fact, the RagaMuffin cat is slow to mature.
The RagaMuffin is a low maintenance cat. It has a medium to medium-long coat that has to be brushed regularly. The texture resembles that of the rabbit and is usually dense and silky. The coat on the neck and around the face tends to be longer than on the rest of the body. The head is slightly wedge-shaped. The eyes are usually blue, green, turquoise, or odd. Unlike Ragdolls, RagaMuffin cats have walnut shaped eyes rather than oval
